Introducing BOLT my 635 CSI

[NewB MW]

So I have had BOLT since August 2012 and its about time I give you guys an introduction. :rollsmile:

Bolt: 1980, white with grey leather. Sports gearbox (dogleg) and a full service history over the 419 000km. As far as I can tell I am the 3rd owner. The car has lived here in Johannesburg all its life. The previous owner was a German guy who imported all parts he could and kept the car garaged and serviced

I found it on Gumtree and only went to look out of curiosity and not to buy it.... ( I had my heart set on a Merc 450slc) Never go look at a 635 out of curiosity. LOVE on first drive. The dealer let me take the car out without being accompanied... Just me, the 6 and a highway. WOW

Problems on the 6: The guys at BMW blew an electrical module the day after I picked it up. The said it would take weeks to fix and that it was my issue because I didnt check the car in with them. An auto electriation fixed it in 2 days for R645,00
The AC is not working
The sunroof is not working
An oil leak.

The car has been resprayed and I suspect an accident in its past 33 years.

Otherwise its amazing. The only thing I have had to do so far is get new exhaust rings connected and it will go for a service soon.

So here is BOLT :rollsmile:

Forgot to add interior pictures. No cracks on the dash :rollsmile: The seats are in great condition, sad its not the recaro seats. The drivers seat needs slight attention. The fitted carpets are in amazing condition.

I bought the car as a birthday gift to myself.
1. Usain Bolt and I share the same birthday.
2. The electrical problems on the first day. (electrical bolt)
3. The cars 0 - 100 is a similar time it takes Usain Bolt to run 100m

I also think it sounds rugged at that's what the car is.
